Hubert Lamy
Vieilles Vignes Les Tremblots Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay
2012 vintage. Pale lemon hue. Quite round on the nose and creamy oak, ripe lemon and short-cake - reminds me of Chablis but with less minerality. On the palate, powerful attack of concentrated ripe lemon fruits and hints of apricot. High acidity, medium body and medium plus concentration. Real bite on the finish. There's an elegance in the mid palate and a decent finish. Good now but drink until 2025.

Oct 3rd, 2022Thank god for this winemaker. Had a night of duds and turned to this bad boy for dinner. First sips were wildly racy with massive amounts of acid and mineral finish. Drank like Chablis. Let it sit for 15 min and lost most of the fruit but still very enjoyable with buttery garlic chicken.

Aug 27th, 2022This is the haute densité bottle. 2018 is acidic and has less minerality. Thought it would be more fruit forward, but it’s just balanced. Needs a few more years to age.
